To be honest the analysis doesn't quite stack up. Because compatibility is not the reason for the success of Go, or Rust.
I think that's a misinterpretation of what was said. Compatibility is not a reason for success -- but the _absence_ of sufficient compatibility will always lead to failure.
I can't speak for Go, but Rust's compatibility is clearly adequate given how Mozilla is able to fit it inside the (mostly C++) Firefox codebase.
